- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ต.ค. 2024
- This video was filmed at Orlando Apopka Airport (X04) where there is no control tower and a short(ish) runway. This is the first time Mike has tried landing here. We are still fine tuning his landings but each challenge he faces he takes in stride and does a great job! This video is no different!
Enjoy the landings

Single best part of that whole vid was the go around decision; Lew did really well to wait for Mike to make the call. Excellent job, both of you!
Landing on a narrow and short runway seems harder than it actually looks, he did a good job!
Such a calm and firm go-around decision. So good. 👏🏽🎉
I love flying out of my airport because it huge and controlled (during the day), but we have a ton of uncontrolled airfields around which is a great environment to learn in. Also it didn’t get past me you you’re back in the Cherokee!
Your excitement it’s the best part! loved flying with you.
It was great flying wit you too! I should have signed you off haha! Hopefully we can fly again in the future! Maybe instrument 😏
@@LewDixAviation I look forward to it! 😊
"What a beautiful decision!" and then a very calm "Do you mind if I have a go?" Excellent confidence builder for your students. Great stuff 😎👌🇬🇧Tim
Great to see your students improvement throughout these videos. He is becoming much more confident and proficient.
This little thing he says in reference to the Runway...
I trained in a 150hp Cherokee 140 on a 2650ftX40ft poor surfaced asphalt runway. We didn't do touch and Go's there lol.
My Grandpa trained on essentially a gravel bar in a river in Tennessee lol.
Enjoyed the video!
Best instructor!!!
Your videos are all what I want!
I hope you all the best.
Landed there once long ago. As I recall, that runway is not only short and narrow, but it isn't exactly level, either.
It's not at all! It has a hump.. Safety first boys!
I like that saying, "Welcome to the sky".
Some good examples, here guys. Thanks.
Mike is going to make a great private pilot!! Beautiful ADM!
I like really love your videos! You got me interested in flying and now here I am. A student pilot :)
That's great to hear mate!
And your editing is fantastic!
Apopka is a fun airport to fly into!
Hey Lewis, I'm a private pilot in Arizona, and my wife and I will be visiting the Orlando area sometime in late February/early March next year. I know you sometimes do flights with your subscribers, and would be honored if we could meet you one morning for some flying. We would give you plenty of advance notice obviously. Sorry about asking on a TH-cam comment - not sure what is the best way to reach you. :)
Thanks mate,
Mike
Hey Mike! We can absolutely get some flying in when you’re here. Just shoot me an email closer to the time and we’ll work it out
He's come so far already!
Learning in this airspace has got to be a challenge of its own. When they get out to a less busy airspace it’s going to be like “woah, where am I?”😂
Student's coming on and looking good Lew! 👌👍
Well impressed with the go-around decision. You'd be surprised how many people would have still tried to land it.
Exactly. Makes me a proud instructor.
@@LewDixAviation and calling it a good decision makes you a good instructor. It seems you're really good at teaching.
@@gentlemanner thank you!
The Yoke on that piper makes the same squeaky sound before landing as our piper!
Yea, needs some lube!
Banging vid as always. I'm on lesson 2, considering a flight from London over to Orlando for that Bolton banter!
Come back to the UK!!
great go around decision, I wan't to train some go-arounds soon, I feel like landings should feel as the second best option, when everything lines up perfectly, this way you will always be prepared to go around if anything is off instead of wanting to put that thing on the ground.
Great stuff, I think he's ready... ORLANDO APOPKA Automated Weather..........as I was saying, I think he's ready for some solo cross country soon:)
hahaha
I haven’t flown into that airport in years! First time was in a baron and before they lengthened the runway! It’s narrow that’s for sure! It’ll get your attention quick if you are used to big wide runways lol
Brought back the banjo music!!!
0:05 - Based on the low crouch, this means...
6:09 - Bam! Awesome PIC decision for go-around.
Nice video!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
That's quite the displaced threshold!
Nice flying. :-)
I learned to fly at a controlled airport. The first time I flew to an uncontrolled airport it scared the crap out of me.
The one's around here are quite hectic!
@@LewDixAviation I know the feeling. :-) The airport in question (Chilliwack CYCW) is a zoo on a sunny Saturday afternoon.
I too liked the Go-Around...nice call. Not that I have any real advice being that I am a rookie at this flying thingie but I use to call every landing , an attempted landing. In my head I'd say, "Cleared for the 'attempted' landing...Rwy ##'. This way I didn't feel forced to land. Personally, I love uncontrolled airports better than towered...I fly for the fun of it.
Hey Lewis, time to put those wings on top and the nosewheel way in the back.
Nice
00:06 - Seems like it's leaking fuel :P
Not a leak it’s a vent
Had to do my short and soft field landings and take offs for my Private checkride at X04 and yeah that damn runway is deceiving
Yea but you kicked it in the nuts and passed. Now you came to a real instructor for your instrument lol The people can't wait to meet you!
Okechoobe would have been fun. I mean... who doesn't like trying to join a pattern with "Skyflyz" joining the pattern for the opposing runways with 5 in the pattern already etc! Worth the pancakes tho bois...
"Kicking a field goal between those two is a good base." Did I hear that right? Shame on you, Lewis Dixon of the House of Lancaster. Nat Lofthouse is spinning in his grave;)
I couldn’t say “listen mate put your foot through it and smash it top bins” could I? Got to adapt to the culture sometimes hahaha
@@LewDixAviation Mate, if you make a perfectly good football reference and he doesn't get it and you crash, that's his own fault for choosing a British CFI, and at least you leave this world with your dignity intact
@@jonb6226 my limbs however............. 👀
lmao, lovely discourse gents
I love the look at 10:10 - no matter how chilled you make us all believe you are, you can feel the aircraft under your ass and know when something isn't right! Have you ever been caught out by a late-stage student doing something unexpected, and maybe you weren't paying as much attention as you would with a lower hour student? To be honest I imagine it's not that much different to a private flight with another pilot in the passenger seat - you are still keeping an side-eye on things even though someone else is flying, and you are pretending to just look out the window :)
In all honesty, when I look out the side window I am making sure that the plane feels like it should. I don’t know if that’s a normal technique haha but I know how a normal approach to landing should feel or a stall let’s say, so I look out the window to feel it. I’ve had a guy that was beyond his solid stall me at 100 feet and we dropped like a brick and I had to step in. Heart in mouth moment but we never touched down and managed to recover. We are all prone to mistakes
8:17 I was like what the hell too I don’t understand why they cut inside?
Not a fan of the overhead tear drop entry. I think it is the least safe of all the traffic pattern entries, done the way most people do them. Especially in high wing aircraft...
Wait, did they just land on Balota airstrip?
@lewdixaviaiton - question for you. I'm a little over 500 hours, and I've heard different points of view between a tear drop entry vs just turning on downwind without the teardrop. Can you share your thoughts on why you would use one over the other?
Agreed. I would have thought crossing midfield, sock check then turning downwind or cross midfield again would be the way to go...
While both are in the AIM, I prefer the teardrop. Simply because I think it's a bit safer given that you are flying a minute out of the pattern to enter on the 45° downwind. If you're overflying the field and turning downwind immediately you run the risk of cutting someone off if you happened not to see or hear them. Just a personal preference really.
@@LewDixAviation I agree, especially if it is an airport I haven’t been to. It helps me with the bigger picture visually, if that makes sense.
In this case, is there any reason for doing the right pattern? Sorry if i didn't get this information in the video
Yea man, it’s the direction of turns for this runway, per the chart supplement
I train in a piper archer could you tell me what iPad yoke mount that is and you recommend it? I use an iPad kneeboard now
RAM Claw Yoke Mount for iPad - for sure beats a kneeboard
There’s a leak 0:06. Just pointing that out!
It’s not a leak.. it’s a vent 😏
@@LewDixAviation To get rid of all that bloody fuel weighing you down
No deadside?
Apopka is not an easy runway to land on. Especially coming in on 33.
Would it be appropriate (waiting for the frequency to be relatively clear so it doesn't cause too much disturbance) to vent your frustration with the weather going off so frequently by playing it over and over again? Seems like everyone would get annoyed and then they would stop playing it. Probably not the best airmanship as it would block the frequency, but it would solve the problem
Хренасе. У нас в России неконтролируемый аэродром - это кусок древней разбитой полосы посреди поля
И таких много)
No shame with a go around... nothing wrong with it.
Why no masks?
Such a strange virus... The only virus for which the only viable treatment is large doses of tyranny. Stop wearing the Mask people.
